What kind of TV do you own?

I just have a regular old tv. I hope I never have to replace it, because we certainly don't need a flat panel tv.

We have a regular 52'' toshiba rear projection tv in our soon to be family room in the basement and a 47'' vizio flat screen lcd in our living room.

We have a flat screen HD t.v., I think it is 60"

WOW!!! big baller!

55" LG. Only one in the living room. No more in our hovel.

I have a Magnavox big screen. It's something I'd have never bought, but my friend gave it to me for Xmas a couple years ago.

I have an old, heavy-as-a-refrigerator TV that I never watch.

LOL

RCA ,nothing fancy ,maybe 29 inches .

52" NEC Plasma in the living room.

I have an older 37" regualr glass tube tv...... and its getting to small to read anything on.. when you get old, the bigger the better.

I love that

40" Sony Bravia

We just have tube TV's right now, but my husband wants a flat panel for his birthday next month. We're leaning toward a 42 inch LG.

In the den we have a 52 inch hdtv. Both my kids have regular 19 inch tv's. In the sitting room I have a little color 13 inch for VHS tapes.

Old faithful, hopefully it lasts a long time.

I asked one of schools I worked at to include in their parent survey the quetion: Does your child have a tv in his/her room? These were 3-to-6-yr-olds. Over half of them had tv's in their rooms.

I am curious, why do schools always send out all those questions?

My son has a tv in his room, but it doesn't have an antena or direct tv. It's only for Playstation and we take the cord out for that at night so he can't play. With football going on now, he just goes right to bed when he gets home.

Abby, to find out what we're up against.

Jenn, I try to explain the Montessori viewpoint about this without putting down tv or computers, but I see a lot of internal bristling, especially since so many parents' employment is centered on artificial intelligence.

In the 3-6 year old age range, children are just forming their conception of reality. We don't even have fairy tales or talking animal stories in Montessori. I must immediately say that children are free to imagine what they wish or tell the story in their head.

Have you ever play Playstation or watched a video with a child and had them ask, "Is that real?"

There are so many layers of unreality going on in any video presentation that the question is nearly impossible to answer.

"It's a true story, but actors are pretending to act it out."

"It's a series of still pictures that only look like they're moving depicting a animal caricature that''s not exactly the way that animal really looks doing something a real animal never does."

It's starting to get difficult at the cartoon level, but you see what I mean.

My job is to make school a place where reality is available, nothing else. You're quite right to remove the cord when not in use because it defines the time as play time, not real time.

You might even take a moment to say, "Now, we're plugging in the cord that suspends reality, or makes everything pretend," and see what questions that brings out.

Just leaving a loaded television in a 3-to-6-yr-old child's room though, makes me tear my hair out. I can almost always tell the children with in-room tv. It's why I asked to have the question on the school questionnaire. I was surprised myself at how obvious it was and how easy for a teacher to see.

Geez, I'm sorry, Lady. I forgot what post I was in after somebody dropped a nickel in me. I didn't mean to start lecturing Montessori theory in your sandbox. I'll save it for an education post.

that's ok, i enjoyed reading your POV

I have a 42 inch Sony with surround sound in my study- I won it!
A 32 inch in the Liv Rm and a 19 inch to place outside in the gazebo during our football parties, which now resides on top of a dresser in the bedroom - which I hate, we don't watch TV in the bedroom ever.

We are about to get a big new flat screen for the living room and a 19 in flat for the kitchen. Everything else is about to get booted. Yay for the digital age and less space requirements!

as long as I can see a picture.. I'm good.

I would tell you the brand but to do that I'd have to leave the chair and go into the living room and I am too lazy LOL
It's a nice set that I got at Walmart for a very nice price. It's not a giant screen but it is larger than the one I threw out and everyone likes it so that's the best part :)

that's wonderful franklin!

:) Which one? we have 4.

used ones

Just your average run of the mill normal TV for the middle class people of the world. I can't afford a fancy TV.

Both ~ 40 inch flat screen HD LCD in the living room, regular old TVs in the bedrooms.

a 60" plasma Hitachi in the living room, a 37" Olevia flatscreen in my bedroom, two 27" old TV's, a 19" portable and still there is nothing on!

WOW

It's a 20+ year old Zenith from back when they made TVs to look like pieces of furniture, in a beautiful console cabinet. It works just fine. I think. I haven't turned it on since last January. haha

We haven't made the switch to a plasma or LCD yet. We have a 52 inch RCA in the living room, a regular 32 inch in the bedroom, and a son has a 20 inch flat screen in his room.

My twin Brother loaned me his tv. It's larger that the one I had. It's a 30 inch. My wife is blind in her right eye and legally blind in her left . So my brother loaned me his larger one so she could see it. I think thats great of him and his wife. He is using my two smaller tvs.

I have a Vizio in the living room.

I have an old 1980's POS that doesnt work for the first 30 minutes after you turn it on.
Doest matter, i dont watch TV anyway.

36 flat screen in our living room , and 17 flat screen in our bedroom
Since the digital came in I do not watch much any more our reception in Romeo sucks.

regular tvs one in living room, two in bedrooms

i want a flatscreen!
mike bought a big screen in 2005.. i can't remember the size, but it's massive lol.
and i still remember getting the phonecall from the delivery guy saying "hi, i just want to make sure you're going to be there when we deliver your tv" or something like that and i said "what tv?" and he tells me and i say "i think you have the wrong number, i never ordered a tv" and he goes "michael carlson ordered the tv" and so i said "oh ok, then we must have.. yes, we'll be home".. and then i called mike up and said "YOU ORDERED A TV AND DIDN'T TELL ME?!" lmao. it was $900 on the credit card!!! argh. but anyway, he swears up and down he gave them HIS phone number and not mine [our phone numbers are off by 2 #s at the end] but somehow they got mine and called me instead of him. i was like.. "wow you are stupid... trying to hide it from me, but you give them MY number and not yours!" lmfao.

We have an amazing 58" Plasma tv in our livingroom from Panasonic. We have a smaller flat screen in the guest room and my son's bedroom - All Sony's and we have an older 36" Sony in our bedroom.

I have two 52 inch Sony's one in the living room, one in the family room, 27 inch RCA in my bedroom, 20 inch RCA in my daughter's room. and a 22 inch Sony LCD HDTV in my son's room, and a 19 inch RCA in my garage ....Do you think I have enough TV's ??? I forgot I have a 10 inch Sony also in the closet...LOL
